Synopsis

Scratch is a chilling tale of loyalty, friendship, and courage – set in the mysterious world of feral cats. It also contains reflections of how cultures too often misread and mistrust one another, leading to ends that might have been avoided. White Saja, a renowned tomcat of the wild woodlands, returns to his old haunts to rescue his onetime clan from a gruesome fate. It leads him on a fearful quest into the brooding Dark Woods where he and a reluctant rival must seek the aid of a dread creature whose very name has long invoked terror in them all. Enter the pages of Scratch and discover unrelenting adventure!

An Early Reader says… “Take a teleporting step deep into a fantastical dimension of ordinary animals that most of us encounter each day. Consider the environment, humans, and other creatures from their point of view, and understand what they are thinking... Checker provides a series of adventures that may feel painfully realistic, as well as the evolution of comradeship, trust, and respect that will bring a smile. Become attached to these characters in emotional scenes of heartbreak and heroism alike, as some gain wisdom, some courage, and some are lost along with way. Readers may never look upon animals, feral or otherwise, the same again.” -- Tamara Turner
